Private 2-Day Mount Toubkal Trek from Marrakech

Tour was well organised. Food and care throughout was excellent. Not a lot was discussed at the start but everything was well taken care of. Use of the mules for additional baggage was extremely handy and we could leave larger Items at the starting village The guide was very good. He kept the group at a good pace. Pace is fast cause of time restrictions between day and nightlight. The refuge had great food. Beds were comfy. We brought a sleeping bag which I would reccomend in the winter months. November was extremely cold. Good winter wear and gloves necessity. Poles were on offer to rent. I would advise doing this. Crampons were available to rent also Would highly reccomend. But would advise a good level of fitness.

Firstly, the communication leading up to this trip was not good. No response to messages sent through Viator or what’s app to the tour provider. We managed to find a number the number and phoned and were advised we would get a message on what’s app with pick up details, but this didn’t come until the morning of the trip about 1 hour before pickup, so we were pleasantly surprised to be going. Our guide Yousef really looked after us at all times, he was very accomplished for his age. As it was a private tour he varied the pace to our needs. We summited mount Toubkal and stayed in the refuge overnight, an experience in itself. Cut off from phone signal with home lovely cooked food, sleeping in giant bunk bed with people of all nationalities - a new experience for us. When we were setting off we were advised that we would need to carry everything we needed for the night so could not take sleeping bags, the refuge had blankets, we were worried but there were more than warm enough. The tour is advertised as having a mule to carry your overnight bag to the refuge, and lots of others had this so unsure why we got switched. The hike was incredible and the tour guide yousef was good. The tour company communication needs improvement.

From the begining of out hike - to the very end - everything was perfect ant taken care of: the taxi to Imlil, the guide, the lunch, dinner, the place to sleep with hot shower! early breakfast and lunch after the top… and the top.. guys, you must see it. Though the hike is not very easy, it’s quite steep. One very special person made it all even more perfect - our guide Hussain, who was leading us the way, adapted his pace to ours - one million thank you!
